First of all CONGRATULATIONS TIMES 3,000 for getting splashed in the f-ing New York Times!!!!
As for subgenres and categories, they bedevil everyone in publishing and it's frankly wondrous that there are publishing professionals who are dedicated enough to make an investment into work that doesn't fit neatly into a slot. Here's to your book being the big audacious comp title for other authors in the very near future!
I already feel like I love the category “traum-com”. Also adore “Insecure” - so much that I bought a copy of the first season on dvd for a friend that needed to see it and didn’t subscribe to HBO. Turned out she didn’t own a dvd player either 😂 I also feel like “Girls” (HBO/Lena Dunham) would be the original “traum-com” tv-series.
omg i LOVE that re DVD for your friend!! and completely re Girls, was groundbreaking, the whole genre is really so up my ally as well :) thank you Lotta!!
I’ve read a number of books categorized as romantic comedy even though they were neither romantic nor comedic. I think if you, the author, are a woman, and there is a picture of a woman on the cover, it’s tough to avoid.
